Tonight, for a good laugh and a good cause, we watch Feeding America Comedy Festival online. The special, which airs first on NBC, brings together a bunch of comedy's biggest stars to support and raise money for America's largest hunger-relief organization, Feeding America.
Kenan Thompson, Billy Crystal, Tiffany Haddish and comedian-turned-entrepreneur Byron Allen will serve as co-hosts for the two-hour comedy special. Other luminaries making appearances include Kevin Hart, Billy Crystal, Will Ferrell, Wanda Sykes, Adam Sandler and Eddie Murphy. The benefit is co-produced by Funny or Die.
The Feeding America Comedy Festival airs today (Sunday, May 10) from 7 to 9 p.m. Eastern on NBC.
"Laughter is often the best medicine, and we are extremely motivated to bring attention to issues of food insecurity, and to assist in providing meals to families across the country who are financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic," said Byron Allen, Founder/Chair/CEO of Entertainment Studios/Allen Media Group.
Viewers will be encouraged to contribute to Feeding America during the broadcast.
